Download or read book Vanishing Animals written by Andy Warhol and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Especially for this book, Andy Warhol has created prints (silkscreen over collage) of some of the most endangered animals in the world. Here they are joined with a stimulating text by Dr Kurt Benirschke affording the reader an opportunity to discover the lives and habits of these animals and what the outlook is for their survival. Extinction, the tragic and permanent loss of entire species of animals, should be a concern for everyone This concern and a strong desire to take action toward preventing the loss of more animals has brought about an unusual collaboration between art and science. The result is this beautiful volume in which artist and scientist have joined efforts to inform and inspire others to take action. It is hoped that these fascinating and striking portrayals will stimulate readers to join their own energies and talents to this important fight against the loss of more species. This book brings some of the less well known endangered animals to the reader's attention. These animals deserve just as much attention as the giant panda or the mountain gorilla about which so much has already been said. Naturally, the animals presented here are very personal choices, having been selected from a virtually endless supply of animals whose last hour is rapidly approaching.

Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Art. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the Farsi by Kavous Seyed-Emami. Bilingual Edition. Dissolving the artificial boundary between human society and wild nature is the goal of DREAMS BEFORE EXTINCTION, a series of twelve remarkable paintings of endangered species by the Tehran-based Iranian artist Naeemeh Naeemaei. Painted in a dream-like, figurative style that is disarming in its sincerity, her artworks bring a distinctly Muslim perspective to environmental art and activism. Through a deeply personal narrative that is disturbing for both its intimacy and its boldness, Naeemaei bravely crosses the dividing line between humans and wild nature to awaken emotional concern not only for the animals in question, but also for the environment as a whole. "I use my dreams, wishes, memorabilia and legends, plus information about the species, to extend my imagination. In each painting, I've lived with an animal in my mind. It is a deep connection." With illuminating comments on each painting by the artist, a preface by the Iranian environmentalist Kavous Seyed-Emami, and an introduction by the historian and graphic artist Paul Semonin, this beautiful bilingual book speaks across the cultural barriers existing today between the Muslim world and Western societies.
Download or read book A Wild Promise An Illustrated Celebration of The Endangered Species Act written by Allen Crawford and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LITHUB BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF SUMMER In the powerful introduction Terry Tempest Williams reminds us, "Our wild promise within the Endangered Species Act to protect and keep safe threatened and critically endangered species from extinction can become vows of action." For the past fifty years, this promise, the Endangered Species Act, has ensured that the most threatened and vulnerable species and their habitats are protected. From the Steller sea lion to the ivory-billed woodpecker, from the steelhead trout to the red wolf, this landmark act has worked to preserve the wild beauty that surrounds and sustains us. In A Wild Promise, acclaimed artist Allen Crawford beautifully illustrates over eighty animals that embody the spirit, legacy, and commitment of the Endangered Species Act. In his trademark inventive style, Crawford’s full-color illustrations and illuminated text create a vibrant tapestry of our nation’s habitats—oceans, mountains, deserts, wetlands, prairies, and forests—and the varied species that call these places home. With a powerful and moving introduction by award-winning writer and conservationist Terry Tempest Williams, A Wild Promise is critically urgent and inspirational, lending voice and spirit to all endangered species. A visually delightful, one-of-a-kind work, A Wild Promise is a celebration of conservation, commitment, and compassion—a clarion call to continue to embrace, engage, and act in ways that preserve and protect our living world.
